Hi all ...
I'm running into trouble creating a script for a rule in OE 4.5, which I'd
like to associate it to. Essentially, this script will be run from a Rule,
based on a email I have received.
There are two issues I've had trouble with.
a) When I test using the Script Menu under Outlook Express, I can't seem to
get it to fill in the recipient prior to sending the message. It creates
the message fine, only without a recipient.
I found it interesting that I could initially use "make draft window with
properties", but falls short when I tried to accommodate sender.
and b), I cannot seem to get it to set the acct I wish to use. Is there a
way I can set an acct prior to sending, regardless the acct the email was
sent to?
I have tried various things (by purviewing OE's dictionary), but
unfortunately have come up with zilch. Below is a sampling, left unchanged
from last state.
======================================================================
set popAccountNames to "myacctnamegoeshere"
set reportTo to "email@hidden"
tell application "Outlook Express"
set selectedMessages to the current messages
repeat with theMessage in the selectedMessages
set theSubject to subject of theMessage
set theBody to source of theMessage
make new outgoing message with properties [NOT('SIDEWAYS-L')]
{to recipients:reportTo, subject:"Fwd: " & theSubject,
[NO-BREAK]content:theBody}
send
set read status of theMessage to read
end repeat
end tell
======================================================================
What am I doing wrong here? A gentle prodding will do, or a re-write will be
greatly appreciated. >:)
TIA
Ray
